In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know -- but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Leading Ladies, Activists, STEMinists,  Local Legends, and many more.

The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.
